Brandon is 1 month old

Time is going so quickly and just like that my baby boy turned one month old on January 14th! At his one month check up he weighed 10 lbs, 7 oz and was 20.8 inches long. He is eating well (3 oz of breast milk or formula every 3 hours). He still sleeps a lot but when he is awake he loves to look around and be held. He's so alert. He is a sweet baby. We have been so blessed with this little boy. He is a miracle just like our girls. He is just doing so well despite the spina bifida. He is moving his legs, ankles and even wiggles his little toes. He is also peeing well on his own. We are not having to cath him. He does have an appointment on February 1st with urology to check the function of his bladder. I hope and pray that all continues to be well and that his bladder is functioning normally and that he won't have to be cathed. I am nervous for this appointment, but I just have to leave it in the hands of the Lord.

Here are Brandon's one month pictures. I'm enjoying having another baby to take pictures of.

YEAH!!! I am so glad to hear that he is moving he legs, ankles and toes!! We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers that he does not have to be cashed! He looks os much like his Daddy and I love all of his dark hair!!

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
